Need to find a way to decrease my fuel consumption. The fastest she will go is 42. But that fine for me.
Maybe your prop has lost a little of its shape? I think the Comp should be capable of 45-46 mph at 4500 rpm. I find that I use more fuel pulling my girls on the tube, then when I pull wakeboards or skiis. I think it is because I spend more time with the secondaries open on the carb (you can hear when they open). I think it must be my driving style. Unfourtunatly, I can't slow down now, as my little girls have become speed freaks!
